The Melbourne Club at Brocket Hall

Melbourne Lodge has been restored to its former glory, with all the bedrooms gracefully furnished and exclusive access to the two restaurants and fantastic golf courses on the estate. Guests will feel so at ease here, surrounded by elegance and history.

Golf Courses

The two championship courses here are a real treat to play, the views across the estate are stunning and there are some tough hazards to overcome, particularly on the Palmerston course. The natural undulations and the river that flows through the estate adds to the beauty of each course and makes for a memorable round.
